Another trip around the sun 🥳☀️

“Ew”…. was the first thing I thought when I woke up to being 54 this morning…. and then I thought… “Jesus.. thank goodness I live to see another day”.

Sometimes I hate the idea of getting “old” or older.. the wrinkles.. the decline in… well everything lol…it’s hard getting old.. right? But at the same time I’m super grateful for being able to get older… and if it’s possible… “wiser”.. because you know… I already know everything. 😂

At the end of the day, I know it’s good to be alive and getting older..

Life is short. I always say it. So live it. No regrets.

Happy Birthday to me.. and Happy I’m still alive day! 🥳

Anticipating that Chase was about to wake up, Flicker entered his room, carrying carefully the mini-energoncake he'd made earlier that morning in one servo and a gift in another one. Inside the blue wrapping waited a mug Flicker had painted by himself - it was decorated with different shapes such as dinosaurs and cars, and on one side read "World's Best Dad".

“Good morning Flicker.”

Chase was already awake, but he hadn’t gotten out of berth yet. After Flicker set down the cake, the policebot gave him a warm hug and a kiss on the forehelm.

“Thank you, that looks delicious.”

He stretched and took the proffered wrapped present.

“Oh Flicker this is perfect, I love it! Did you paint it yourself?”

This was my twenties, an entire decade gone just like that.

For some funny reason when I started, I didn't think I'd get this far. Thirty definitely seemed like a lifetime away but here I am. After going through some of the toughest and sweetest times in my life I'm closing this chapter for good.

Sometimes I'd wonder what past me would think about the person I am today, would she be okay with the outcome or would she wish for something different? Would I have changed anything if I knew what was going to happen? The past decade has definitely been a learning curve, I think it was mainly discovering myself and knowing that other people too are on this journey is very humbling. Albeit not everyone goes at the same pace and some never do find themselves.

If I can say anything is my fiery side doesn't crop up nearly as often as it used to but that doesn't mean the flame has died. I've come to be a little more wise when choosing my battles because time isn't infinite or at least it isn't in this life. I'm only here for a small while so I might as well get the best out of it. Learning to channel my energy where it really counts is something I've gotten comfortable with.

Over the course of my twenties I've battled obesity, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, self doubt, and moments of weakness. I've also achieved some great things for myself. I've gotten DIVE just about finished (it's currently sitting at almost 650 pages), I've improved greatly as an artist, got better at cooking/baking, picked up powerlifting and have gotten decently strong, and I'm happier than I've ever been. Progress is not always linear but the main thing is to keep pushing, even in my lows there was still something to cherish and appreciate.

My twenties have been about pushing my comfort zone and learning to swim with the tide rather than feeling like I'm drowning. It's been tough but without hardship I wouldn't be me. Spite the hell I went through I don't think I'd change how everything happened. Every one and everything had something to provide with the time and the place that they were for me regardless of if the experience was positive or negative.

There's been a lot that's come and gone in my journey - people, places. Having found a life long romance deepen to saying my final goodbye to a handful of people that have passed away, it's been very bittersweet. My twenties certainly has been riding the hurricane through to the other side, even passing through the eye not knowing what else is to come other than I have to weather the storm. I've burned more bridges than I can count but the one thing that hasn't wavered is my moral integrity.

That's probably the biggest thing I've achieved over the past decade. I know who I am and where I'm going with myself. I may not know entirely what the future holds but I've got a guideline written up for myself on the goals I want to accomplish over the next decade. I may never be perfect but it doesn't mean that I can't try to be the best version of me that I can.

It's a good feeling knowing that I've crossed off some major things on my goal list. I've completely mellowed over the course of the past few years especially, my twenties definitely have held some of the hardest mental battles I'm sure I'll ever face. The inner turmoil of leaving things unsaid, having to walk away when necessary is something that's an underrated skill but it's something I've had to learn.

All in all I’m happy to move forward with the next chapter of my life, although I’ll never forget the memories I made over the past ten years. There were absolutely some great highlights that I’m sure I’ll probably mention at some point.

Onward and upward.

Cheers to thirty.
